Heroes we Honor and Remember this month - May...
I
pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a
sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

In a long line of heroes stretching from the greens of Lexington and Concord to the mountains of Afghanistan, selfless patriots have defended our lives and liberties with valor and honor. They have been ordinary Americans who loved their country so profoundly that they were willing to give their lives to keep it safe and free. As we pay tribute to the valiant men and women in uniform lost in battle, we also recognize the deep loss and great strength of those who share in that ultimate sacrifice: America's Gold Star Mothers and Families. |

The Run - 2012.
In an apolitical reflection of remembrance a team of active duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard runners will embark on a 165+ mile run to honor every New Jersey service member killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
The 4th Annual NJ Run for the Fallen will start at 8:00am on Friday September 28, 2012, at Cape May Lighthouse and will finish at 3:40pm on Sunday September 30, 2012, at The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Holmdel, NJ.
Each mile of the Run is dedicated to a NJ Hero and the Run Team will stop at every Hero Marker (every mile) and present an American Flag and a personal biographical card in honor of every fallen service member with the intent to create a 165+ mile long memorial trail through New Jersey. Each group of 3 runners carrying 3 flags will run legs of seven miles at a military pace of 8 minutes per mile. More.....
